Starting a new thread as we filled up the old one!

DC 17 is in 6th season with NYMT. Also former BYMTer.

These annual threads have been a source of advice, emotional support and camaraderie for those of us with young performers enjoying everything that these awesome organisations bring.

Bias aside, just seen LB and was absolutely blown away by everyone in and contributing to this new musical. Inspirational. The dance and choreography was outstanding. I now realise why there has been little to no contact from my DS these last couple of weeks! Sad I couldn’t see any of the other shows, but if anything like this they must have been amazing.

I absolutely loved it too this afternoon. Actually had a proper cry which I tried to disguise lol. Hope they have an amazing last show!

Thoroughly enjoyed Tuck. Absolutely beautiful staging and choreography. Great performances and some real lump in throat moments. Hope they have a fabulous last show tonight.

I would have loved to have seen Fame but had too much on and we are away this weekend.

Good luck to the Tuck Everlastingers and especially anyone in the band as Partner in Crime is an absolute ROAST - my ds and his friend still laugh about getting through that one a few years ago!

DS is with BYMT for a couple of days helping out on something. Apparently there is a distinct lack of phone signal and the school wifi won't let anyone on social media!

Break a leg to the company of Tuck Everlasting, opening tonight! Can't wait to watch tomorrow.

What a brilliant production of fame! Such talented people!

Truetoself · 08/08/2025 14:52

That’s great to hear! Cant wait to see it tomorrow

Fame was extraordinary last night. So much talent on display.

Sad to miss it here @doesanybodyhaveamap - we managed to catch the livestream of the finale last night, which looked amazing. Well done to all!

Hi @Biscuitsneeded my DD is a musician in Carousel but she is here for the next two weeks doing her intake training for NYT - it’s a busy month for her! Sadly we can’t make it to Fame as Saturday is the only day we can go and is sold out - which is great news!

Edited

I hope she has a great time at NYT then - and that she enjoys Carousel when it comes around too!

Glad to hear that everyone is having fun. I am in Birmingham until next Friday with DD and am currently watching all the building work outside the Bull Ring. I haven’t been here in about 15 years and it has changed quite a bit!

I'm afraid I've lost track. Is your DD in Fame? As a stage performer, or a musician? Or are you there for a totally different reason?! Come and see the show if so!

Biscuitsneeded · 07/08/2025 15:25

Break a leg to the Fame company! Can't wait to watch. 😃

Yes - looks like a day off today as various coffee / junk purchases noted on the bank app! Not much by way of actual texts though…

My signs of life is bank statement watching the coffee shop purchases!

We’re getting periodic requests for money from DD. She seems to be having the time of her life with BYMT.

@DMEAmumloving the vlog! Nice to get confirmation that my DC is still alive 🤣

If you search NYMT Fame on YouTube they should come up I think!!

Truetoself · 30/07/2025 21:10

@DMEAmumwhats the YouTube channel?

Operasingerkath · 30/07/2025 17:20

DMEAmum · 30/07/2025 17:14

Yeah - It's my DS who does the YouTube stuff! Hope there aren't too many spoilers, but it's the best way we've found to keep up with what he's doing, and know that he's ok!! DD is also there this year for her first NYMT experience as an ASM for Fame. She finds time to phone every day - her brother.... Radio Silence! 😂

Show quote history

He’s fab! Glad it’s not just my DS who is so lax about getting in touch 😂. They all seem to be having a good time

DMEAmum · 30/07/2025 17:17

Should also say that he's doing ensemble in Carousel this year too, so will probably have video updates for that too. (He does check with everyone at the start of the rehearsal process if they are ok to be included in the videos - they usually end up recording their own content and sending it to him to be included!) But if there's anyone not happy to be included, they can just let him know

DMEAmum · 30/07/2025 17:14

Operasingerkath · 29/07/2025 15:19

Fame seems to be going well so far! Only limited information from DS but there’s a cast member who posts on YouTube and I’ve seen him on there so I know he’s alive 😂. Hope everyone has a great summer season with NYMT and BYMT
